host: of the independent line, rick, from new york. caller: this does not surprise me. this already was known in the election. the president of the united states is a demagogue, who unfortunately has pushed the republicans all the way to the end. john boehner had no other choice but to tell the caucus, "nothing i could do." the democrats did not want to support the plan that john boehner put forth. obviously. host: sorry to interrupt you. what you think about some of what the republicans have been saying in the house? not taking up the speaker's plan b, that he had proposed. caller: today, i read in "the washington post," that it is obvious that the republicans -- not only the so-called tea party. i understand that he did not have 217 votes for his plan to pass. they took away -- he was given one year to obama to continue to spend a and spend. one year to increase the debt ceiling. one more year. how in the world anybody is going to support that? i supported it at the beginning. i supported the plan b that boehner put forward, but i could not support it when i am going
